Day 7. Granon to Espinosa. 25km

A quiet day on the Comino. Almost a through day. Undulating farm country following a major highway. A few very quiet villages on the way with no cafe's so a hungry morning. Normally I can't function without breakfast but the body and head are adapting. Chatted to lots of people over the day from all parts of the world. Showed a few the correct poling technique for which they were very grateful. I'll be interested to see if they maintain the correct way when we see them tomorrow. Today's Comino story. A chap we meet first walked the Comino back in 2015. He was in a group of 5 and somehow a small dog befriended them. They would depart their hostel in the morning and this dog would be waiting outside. Eventually the dog was adopted by the group and stayed with them until Santiago. One of the group took the dog back to Germany and it has enjoyed a fine life ever since . Nice.
The bodies are finally feeling good. Today, for the first time the legs are not sore and energy levels are good. It's taken 7 days of 25+km to get to this stage. We are well prepared physically for a dreaded section named the Meseta. 200km of flat nothing. This section is all about the mind.
Tonight we are in a lovely pension run by an elderly German couple. A home cooked meal to be looked forward to.Read more
